Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The first step that forensic examiners perform is identifying and acquiring data. Both are among the most critical segments in the forensic process since they are sine qua non for completing the examination and analysis phases. The evidence acquisition must be managed deliberately, ethically, and legally. On many occasions, the outcome of the investigation depends mainly on the relevance and precision of the evidence acquired. The goal of this research is to identify both legal and ethical issues that forensic investigators face during evidence acquisition and to design a framework using design science which recognises and resolves the problems identified. The framework must preserve the forensic soundness of the investigation, overall integrity, effectiveness, and efficiency. The elicitation of the requirements for the framework is based on a literature review and ex-ante expert interviews, while the validation and evaluation of the framework stem from ex-post expert interviews. The designed framework aims to minimise hazardous practices that lead to negative consequences and to effectively align the new technologies in digital forensics with human expertise for improved results during the phase of digital evidence acquisition.

Critical Factors for Open Data Publication and Use : A Comparison of City-level, Regional, and Transnational Cases
- 2015
-
In: eJournal of eDemocracy & Open Government. - : Danube-University Krems. - 2075-9517. ; 7:2, s. 94-115
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- There is a lack of research concerning the factors influencing the success or failure of open data initiatives. Based on the results of two workshops, we provide a list of 47 success factors for open data publication and 18 success factors for open data use. We further use three case studies (ENGAGE, Open NY, and Open Vienna) to examine how the criticality of factors varies depending on the geographical level and other characteristics of the open data initiative. The cases, representing open data initiatives at city, regional and transnational levels, point at different categories of critical success factors. Our key conclusions are that 1) the criticality of the factors depends considerably on the context of the open data initiative; 2) a number of success factors appear to be more universally applicable than others; 3) the factors that are critical to all three cases are derived from many different success factor categories, which suggests that open data initiatives should adopt an interdisciplinary approach, and 4) further work is needed to detail the success factors for open data publication and use in other contexts.

Workshop on context-specific critical success factors for open data publication and use
- 2015

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Governmental organizations around the globe step up their efforts to implement open data initiatives as part of their open government commitments. Thereis, however, little systematic evidence, in research and practice, as to what constitutes a “successful” open data initiative. In this workshop, we follow up on our previous work on Critical Success Factors (CSF) for open data. In particular, we aim to establish which of the CSFs that we previously identified apply in which contexts -thus allowing for a more fine-grained and targeted advice to open data practitioners. The workshop participants will be provided with the results from our previous research on factors that influence the success of open data initiatives and can benefit from the structured group discussions on factors that are critical to open data initiatives in a particular context

Open data disclosure and use : critical factors from a case study

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Little is known about the factors which influence the success or failure of open data initiatives. Based on the results of a workshop, we provide a list of success factors for open data publication and use (64 in total) and discuss their criticality in a particular setting using a case study (the ENGAGE project). The most critical success factors for open data publication and use, in the context of this case study, related to legislation, regulation and licenses. However,the criticality of factors depends considerably on the context of the open data initiative. Our key conclusions are that further work is needed to detail the success factors for open data publication and use in particular contexts, and that a number of success factors, such as those related to sustainability of publication process and user feedback, appear to be more universally applicable than others.
